I used eclipse Helios to create a Web Service Client for consuming an axis 1.4 web service.
It generated 2 packages:
1 - datamodel.
2 - client.
Inside client package there are 5 classes:
1- ServiceName
2- ServiceNameProxy
3- ServiceNameService
4- ServiceNameServiceLocator
5- ServiceNameSoapBindingStub
I need to Know what are these ? AND
How to call the web service methods with parameters?
Thanks in advance
I am very new to Web Services and I can't give a good explanation of what those classes are, but, I believe you can use the Proxy
class to call the Web Service methods.
public class TestClient{
public static void main(String []args){
ServiceNameProxy proxy = new ServiceNameProxy();
proxy.setEndpoint("http://localhost:8080/ServiceName/asdf");//defined in wsdl
int i = proxy.webServiceMethod(new String(), new String());
}
}
webServiceMethod()
would be whatever the name of the method is defined in the service.
